      The Value of "Interstellar Agent City of a Thousand Stars"

      In the beginning, I waited for the imported "big meal" -"Interstellar Agent", which was smashed by Luc Besson for 210 million US dollars.

      Previously, there was "Avatar" and the "Alien" series had already made bold attempts at alien-themed films and established a rich reputation. Later, there was the pressure of "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Interstellar" and other wonderful sci-fi movies. "Interstellar Agent"...

      The whole universe is like playing at home.

      European and American blockbusters have entered the spiral of this kind of advanced special effects mentally retarded plot for too long, and the pure popcorn movie is not worth mentioning. This movie can be said specifically.

      I am also a fan of science fiction. I have read countless novels and a lot of movies.
      To be honest, this kind of racial introduction like an exhibition film is still very attractive and charming. The masters have spent money on such good special effects and...

      Luc Besson's "Little Bad Movies"

      Personal score of 6.7 points
      Luc Besson is well-known in China, but this "Interstellar Agent" has a solid title of bad film.
      If it is a bad film, Luc Besson's bad film is not the same as other people's bad films. Hollywood's conventional bad movie routines are vulgar, and the "bad" of "Interstellar" is that you can do whatever you want, and shoot where you want. At the beginning, the history of contact between humans and aliens was the third type of contact under conspiracy and power...

      Can't write short reviews

      I guess there is still insufficient funding, and a few such good settings are not used much. Dialogue, indoor scenes, action scenes, and gunfights are staggering. I will not talk about the plot. Except for the setting of the scene, the rest is really rubbish. But it doesn't matter, anyway, this position is a teenage sci-fi, and it is not too harsh. It's a pity to waste some such good scenes and creature designs. The setting of the planet of Pearl Stars is still very retro (old-fashioned), but...

      Watching the City of a Thousand Stars and Comparison with the Fifth Element

      Because of his love for the fifth element, he has been looking forward to the City of a Thousand Stars for a long time. In many respects, the city of a thousand stars is the preservation, expansion and improvement of the fifth element. In the character setting, world structure, soundtrack and humor, and even the character's demeanor and tone. Not so much Star Agent is a new movie of the new alternate world, even I think, it can be considered as a sequel to the fifth element, or a spinoff....

      The naive story of fried chicken, but the special effects are really cute~ How to say, a lot of times I think about superhero blockbusters, and then I would like to praise "this is very imaginative" - ​​but then I think about the games I played, oops...

      The world view is good, the art is good, and the scene is grand enough. The episode that appeared in Ri Ri is amazing but a little redundant, and can be completely cut off. Clive Owen was kidnapped and the director also arranged for the male protagonist to go to Yihong Academy to watch Ri Ri perform pole...

      1. Pay attention to the 6 concept designs at the end of the film. They are in front of the art director and visual effects supervisor. 2. Kris Wu's lines except the bomb demolition scene can be replaced by an AI narration. In fact, the bomb demolition does not need the amount of assets. And there are so many motion-captured characters with high specifications, there is no one except Weta Digital and ILM 4 Whose idea was it to shoot in popcorn? it's a...

      Luc Besson is also doing "children's stuff". It feels like Dane DeHaan's aura didn't work out. Full marks for visuals and space spectacle. Rihanna full marks. Liked by Space...

    Evaluation action

    The film is based on the existing IP, the beloved French graphic novel, and director Luc Besson’s talent as a producer and designer is still commendable. Movies are an otherworldly world. But the next time the director makes a movie, he should re-read the original manga, study the characters and the content in the dialog box, and see if there is anything worth filming. The Lucasian model and the dull reading of the lines make people...
